Gigajie

its kinda boring...i mean only lightning and a name? add something to it.

my name is actually Gigajie2 but somehow that was already taken =P. Gigajie2's 99 Range Party! More Details Coming Soon!

wow...i guess i also have to explore some other kinds of art after i get good at pixeling =P

i had guitar lessons for a few months! but then i moved and i kinda stopped. btw, look on page three on my official progress post. it has my progress so far with the chandelier and talks about how im not gonna do the room, because i already have a new idea, and i want to start on it as soon as possible. that doesnt mean ill rush through the chandelier...mind that.

so...one chandelier? and one room with a chandelier and furniture? ok...

that is paint...and i have some references which i use. one the dragon on page 2. 2 a donald duck book where theres a big money stack on the fron =P. that will be how i will make my money which the dragon will be on. taking a short break now though to make that sig cowboy wanted. just have to add the shading and stuff now...

euh....sure. ill make that and continue with the dragon later i guess...i've already put so much work into it...that i really dont want to give up on it now. do you have a good text that could go with it? like something with quiet or emptyness...

any tips on how to do the haunches?

Official Progress Page yup...thats how far ive gotten...what kind of a background should i give it?

saying "you just dont get it" is not critisicm though. ok. but ill listen from now on. i dont even know what filters and that stuff are so theres no point in even trying that. is it ok that i made the chandelier with the curve line tool? i guess so, because its kinda just some regular lines.

but whats the point of using a pencil tool, when its the same thing as line only slower? plus, thank you for clarifying that. well nvm. i kinda know the answer to that.

sry guys for flipping out...i recently moved...and...yea. its still kinda emotional.

oh..and thanks for the reference whoever did that. it helped a lot.

HOW THE F AM I SUPPOSED TO GET IT! AND I KNOW! IM NOT GONNA DO THE WHOLE THING WITH GRADIENT. THE SIMPLE PARTS I WILL! GOD DAMN IT! ITS ALREADY FRUSTRATING ENOUGH TO START SOMETHING NEW. NOW THAT YOU GUYS JUST KINDA INSULT ME EVERYWHERE I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING, THEN IM NEVER GONNA LEARN. SO JUST TELL ME HOW I SHOULD DO IT, AND DONT SAY "YOUR JUST NOT GETTING IT" OK? AND IM NOT DOING MY OWN THING! YOU GUYS NEVER TOLD ME WHAT TO DO...SO I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO I CANT SAY THE RIGHT THING! I WOULDT INSULT YOU GUYS IF YOU NEEDED MY HELP. I WOULD JUST SAY WHAT TO DO!

i fin it easy to use the curve line tool in MS...i know you're supposed to do it with pencil, but isnt it kinda the same thing? only the curved line tool is faster? and more accurate? well, anyway. i think in pixel art its not really the things that count, but the creativity and how lively you make it look with what you have. if you have a crappy 2D dragon (2nd page) but you shade it well and put a lot of other things into it, its still a great pixel. thats my thought of it. im gonna GIMP for making the colors. its easier to shade it there with the gradient.

why cant you resize a pixel? i mean...its kinda like...taking a blurry pic, making it smaller, and then it turns to normal/high quality pic. its quite simple. and how would i know the rules of pixeling? i just started!

im making it like this and then later opening it into photoshop. there i can make it smaller so the detail will be very high. and its just easier to work with a that large canvas. i mean you dont have to go into microscopic detail because you'll just make it smaller later, and the normal detail will turn into microscopic detail. ty for that dragon pic. ill use that. i think its just kinda hard to draw livng things. making the chandelier was not that hard because theres one place where that one thing has to go, or it wont look right. when it looks wrong you can easily find the place where it is actually supposed to go too.

if you have any suggestions for the legs...just say them.

here. the legs still kinda looked dumb even after i looked at the dragon pics so i took them off again. the big gthing is a candle chandelier and the dragon is going to sit on a big money pile. this money pile will be mine and he will protect it. well thats how i want it to look.

i am using hypercam! but i cant make the vid 30 fps or it gets way too laggy.

Nvm. Looked at some other dragon pics.

k, so im having trouble on the legs of the dragon...should i just put a big money stack in front? or attack the challenge? well...i already know your answers. just...um...can i cover it with a wing? nah taht looks dumb...hmpf ill just try...

dont have it right now...would have to make a new one. im gonna play some rs though now so i cant really make another pixel currently.

um...yea. another problem i have trouble with is "mixing colors." i saw a sig here somewhere with a guy lying in a hammock near the ocean with the sun on the horizon. the sky and water were kinda bluish yellow. i tried to imitate the blue yellow "mixing" but just couldnt get it right!

im confused. Some ppl say i should just go for it and others say i should take it slowly.
